Have you taken a look at those criminals that he has pardoned? For instance, one "criminal" is a cop whose dog bit a real criminal. Others that he has pardoned have been victims of the Far Left schemes. I am so proud of him for recently granting pardons to General Flynn (a real hero in my...

In 1982, Pat Robertson predicted the world end in October or November. In 2007, Robertson got very specific, predicting April 27 as the end of the world. Then there is the aforementioned prediction of Trump's reelection. If Robertson was an OT prophet, we would have to stone him. For that...

The main point of "faith alone" is that we are saved by faith alone without any works or following the Law. This doesn't remove the need for repentance.

@Mikey gave a great quote by Sinclair Ferguson (# 25). As Ferguson explained, this is not contradictory. I hold to the view that we are saved by faith alone. The Reformers said that we are saved by faith alone, but not by a faith that is alone. It's clear that we are saved by grace alone...

It seems that we may be saying the same thing after all, just coming from different angles. That is the way I understand it, Brother.

I've never heard of that, but you seem familiar with SDA doctrines. Could you summarize it? If it's complicated, I will Google it.

I had forgotten that SDA has the false doctrine that says Sunday worship with the Mark of the Beast. Excellent point, Brother!

Certainly. I believe I referenced Romans 3:19-28, Romans chapter 4, Romans 10:9-13, Galatians 2:11-21, Galatians 3:6-4:11, Ephesians 2:8-9 and Titus 3:5-7. I was making the point that each of these passages speaks of salvation by faith vs works or the Law. I'm sure you don't believe in a...

A couple of questions, if you don't mind. How would you interpret the "faith alone" passages that I referred to earlier? How do you see the role of repentance in the role of salvation? That is, I don't quite understand your view of how one is saved.

The New Testament addresses this type of legalism several places. Colossians 2:16-17 tells us "Therefore no one is to act as your judge in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day - things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ." We see...

Greetings to you, Brother. My apologies, as I didn't really state my views very clearly. The passages I mentioned in the "cults" thread do show that we are saved by faith alone, and not by any works. If we see repentance as a work that we must do before giving our lives to Christ, that goes...

Hi, SBG. Just discovered this post. Based on your long history of numerous posts, you really have a burden about repentance. I must commend you for your tenacity on the topic. Having said that, I will try to summarize my understanding of repentance. As the NT tells us, we must repent or be...

Sadly, my wife got it right away. Our 40th anniversary is in a couple of days, and she knows me all too well.

She doesn't hide her light under a bushel - she buries it in the Swamp.

@SavedByGrace wanted me to show where we are saved by faith alone. The passages are just that - they show that we are saved when we place our faith in Christ. Baptism doesn't save us. (That may need to be a new conversation.) Remember, the Penitent Thief was never baptized. Regarding...

Biden has been in office for some 47 years, including 4 years as Obama's VP. Can you name ANYTHING he has done that has made the USA better? He is just an empty suit.

While conservative Evangelicals, Catholics, Jews, etc. love and admire President Trump, I don't believe anyone worships him. Liberal members of my own family often accuse me and "right wingers" of viewing Trump as a latter-day Messiah. We don't even "venerate" him in the same sense that...

Again, you are not saying what you believe these passages mean. One of the most basic rules of interpreting Scripture is to take it at it's basic meaning - i.e., the plain meaning of the text. You cannot make an argument from what a passage does not say. You have to go with what it does say...

In your simple response, you ignore those inspired words of Scripture? Each passage clearly supports Sola Fide. Again, what do those passages mean?

No one is able to keep the Law, so no one can be justified by the Law, or by works. John 6:29 shows us that belief in Christ is the only required "work". Here are a few passages to support the doctrine of Sola Fide: Romans 3:19-31, Romans chapter 4; Romans 10:9-13 Galatians 2:11-21; Galatians...
